I wish the opening was taller. If they just cut away some of the base section underneath where the jaw bridge opens, the door could sit lower and the opening would be taller. The door itself would need to be reworked to be longer.

The levels inside seem a little too short as well. Roboto's head barely clears the third floor ceiling in the video.

I don't mind the size overall, but I feel like they either need a little more height or to lose the third floor.

The size doesn't really bother me, though I hope for some more tooling on the inside of the playset so the interior walls aren't so smoothly bland looking. It's not a make or break, but it would be nice for some inside details. Heck, the original Snake Mountain was able to do it.

Also, I really want that dungeon floor grating. I'm really hoping that the rumor of it being cut is just that.

After letting it marinate for a day, yes, it's just too small. The sculpt is beautiful, I have no issue with the look of the castle, the detailing, anything like that. Just the size, it's much smaller than expected. I'm not saying it has to be double in size, but a couple of inches per floor, in height, width, and depth, would make all the difference in the world.
As it is, I can live with it, but it barely meets the scale of the figures and it takes a great deal of pleasure out of owning it.

But looking at the prototype and the B-sheet that Mattel posted it looks the whole castle is about 2" smaller all around.
I don't like that the figures heads almost it the second floor when they are on the first floor. The base is unneeded and that height could have been added to the castle itself.

The fact of the matter is Mattel posted measurements at the time of presale, but now it's not that size. For $250 it needs to be just as it was in the B-sheet they used to sell it to us.

The overall size is exactly what I expected, and it looks great! There's jut a few tweaks and subtractions that will make it feel bigger:

1) Lower the Jaw Bridge hinge. The bridge needs to lie flat on the ground when opened (unless Matty's going to give us a platform on the other side for it to rest on). Lowering the bridge would give us the headroom we all want in the entryway.

2) Get rid of the prison walls. They take up so much room on the lower floor. and the trap door doesn't even line up with it. Poorly planned, and the dungeon room loses it's key feature (the creatures in the depths)

3) The Wind Raider base - this is clearly being shoe-horned in by management to try and cross-sell the failed Wind Raider vehicle. It's an awful concept and poorly executed/realized. Admit it doesn't work, move on, and use that tooling spot for something fans actually want.

We should start version 2 fan demanded CG. or threaten to not buy any more figures. or subs, for that matter take a stand. if this is the final product we're getting. im cancelling before it even arives.
